WLW Left All the Other Teams Running at Birch Run!

What a tourney! I'm sure everyone had a great time at Birch Run and hopefully made a new friend or two. Our first thank you goes off to our very helpful bus driver, James, for transportation and luggage loading. Our second thank you goes to the Fitzpatricks, Baumans, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Fraisure, Mrs. Ziegelman, and Mrs. Silverman, for supporting the team with food and love. Another thank you goes out to our team cheerleaders for the day: Alex Anthony, Meaghan McNerney, Molly McNerney, and Jowan Rashid. Other thank you's go to all of the judges that came out today, including our alum's. Of course we can't forget the competitors themselves!
